Simone Menezes, Conductor
Elena Mateo Sáez, Bassoon

The velvety sound of the bassoon is on full display in this evening of virtuosity and vigor. B.H. Crussell’s bassoon concertino is bookended by a boisterous Brazilian work and the richly orchestrated struggle against fate depicted in Tchaikovsky’s fifth symphony.

A Grammy Award winner, Zuill’s celebrated artistry, technical wizardry and engaging personality has secured his place as “easily one of the finest cellists alive today.” – Classical Net
Written for Beethoven’s 250th anniversary, Subito con forza weaves gestures from the composer’s Coriolan Overture. “Effective and eerie, with plenty happening in five teeming minutes. Chin’s ear for color is her greatest weapon.” —The Times
